Summer will be here before you know it, and with summer comes warmer weather and shorter hemlines. For patients who wish to feel confident this summer without invasive surgery, there are a selection of non-invasive and minimally-invasive options to turn back the hands of time. Check out these treatments to get beach ready.

Vein Treatments

At Allegany Vein Clinic, we offer a variety of vein treatments to help your legs look their best. We offer treatments for spider and varicose veins, as well as sclerotherapy, laser vein treatments, and Endo vein laser treatment. With smooth, clear legs, you can feel free to wear those short shorts or go without the sarong at the beach!

Laser Treatments

We also offer different laser treatments to address a variety of body concerns. Our Cellulaze treatment can reduce the appearance of unwanted cellulite that can’t be solved with diet and exercise. It is minimally invasive and can be done with local anesthetic. For those who wish to eliminate stubborn areas of excess fat, the Smarlipo Triplex may be a good option. This laser treatment can permanently destroy fat cells in the abdomen, neck, arms, or face for a slimmer you. The Precision TX laser contouring procedure can also be used to eliminate excess fat in the face, neck, and arms. These treatments can help you wear that teeny bikini this year! If you are interested in these minimally invasive procedures to look and feel your best this summer, contact us today to schedule your consultation in Cumberland, MD.

Have you noticed pesky veins popping up along your legs? Both spider and varicose veins are often caused by genetics, which means there is not much you can do to prevent them. However, there are ways that they can be treated. If you are ready to wear shorts and dresses with confidence all year long, Allegany Vein Clinic can help! At our vein clinic, we offer a wide selection of vein treatments to eliminate spider and varicose veins.

Spider Vein Treatment

Spider veins are small red or blue veins that can spread across the legs, ankles, and even the face. At our practice, we can treat spider veins with laser or sclerotherapy. Sclerotherapy involves injecting the vein with medicine that dissolves the vein away. Laser treatments can cause veins to die off and disappear.

Varicose Vein Treatment

Varicose veins are found in the legs or ankles and have a bulging appearance. These veins often cause itching, pain, and a feeling of heaviness. At our vein clinic, we treat varicose veins with sclerotherapy, endovenous laser treatment, or ambulatory phlebectomy. Endovenous laser treatment causes veins to close, and eventually disappear. Ambulatory phlebectomy is a procedure that involves removing the vein through small incisions.

Schedule a Consultation!

The first step towards youthful looking legs is to schedule a consultation. During your consultation, Dr. Carpenter will examine your spider or varicose veins, and determine which treatment process is right for your individual case. Then, treatment can be scheduled for youthful looking legs in no time! If you are ready to take the first step towards youthful looking legs, the Vein Clinic of Allegany Plastic Surgery can help. Patients in the Cumberland area can call 301-338-8519 today to schedule their initial consultation.

Do you have a double chin? If so, you’re not alone! Many adults suffer from a double chin, also known as submental fullness, despite living healthy lifestyles. While weight gain can cause submental fullness, it can also be caused by aging and genetics, which means it will stick around no matter how many miles you run. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your double chin, but don’t want to undergo invasive surgery, Kybella may be the answer.

What is Kybella?

Kybella is a nonsurgical way to eliminate submental fat. This injectable treatment contains synthetic deoxycholic acid, which naturally occurs in the body to break down and absorb fat. When Kybella is injected into a double chin, fat cells are destroyed and can no longer store fat, meaning long-lasting results. During your Kybella treatment in Cumberland, one of our nurse injectors will apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment area. This will ensure that you are comfortable during treatment. Then, Kybella will be administered in multiple small injections. The number of injections will depend on the amount of submental fat you would like to eliminate. One treatment session usually takes only 15-20 minutes to complete.

After a long summer in the sun, your skin will often show some signs of wear or damage. Now that the weather is growing cooler and your time in the sun will be reduced, this is the perfect time to consider chemical peels to help you achieve a clearer, more youthful complexion.

Chemical Peels

Here at Allegany Plastic Surgery, we offer two types of chemical peels: ZO 3-Step Peel and the controlled depth chemical. Chemical peels are great for the reversing of skin aging and sun damage. The acids in the chemical peels increase cell turnover in the skin, revealing a fresher complexion.

ZO 3-Step Peel

This peel is a simple peel that can be used for unwanted pigmentation and minor skin aging. This peel may be perfect for the younger patient or someone with a more sensitive skin type. Like most peels, your skin care practitioner will be able to customize your treatment to your skin by adjusting the application time before the solution is neutralized.

Controlled Depth Chemical Peel

The Controlled Depth Chemical Peel is medium depth peel that addresses both the epidermis and dermis. This peel is more advanced in comparison to superficial peels that do not penetrate any deeper than the epidermis. This type of peel is better for the more dramatic signs of aging due to its potential for a deeper reach.
